Violence of Labor Strikes

When workers at the Chevrolet Motor company started a riot, national gurad troops were forced to intervene. The riot was the result of strikers fighting with workers of the company. The strikers were trying to prevent the workers (who was doing their job) from going to work. The new workers were armed with clubs and used them on the strikers.

I like the pictures and atricles you added in. Labor unions have been very strong in recent years and a definite indicator of this is the fact that the national guard has been used to break up riot and strikes from labor unions.

After reviewing your project I must first say that congratulations on being the first one to use visuals on there blogs. I really feel that your project is lacking some of the historical information on Labor Unions. If you could add more historical information i feel your project would become more inciteful to othe viewer.

You seemed to have very convincing facts and organization to your project. I was impressed with the fact that you explored the positives and negatives of labor unions while showing little bias of your own personal opinion.
